  4. D \(-84\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(-75\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation: \(3\sin^2 x + 12\cos x - 3 = p\) Substituting \(\sin^2 x = 1 - \cos^2 x\): \(3(1 - \cos^2 x) + 12\cos x - 3 = p\) \(-3\cos^2 x + 12\cos x = p\) Let \(\cos x = t\). Since \(x \in \mathbb{R}\), \(t \in [-1, 1]\). The equation becomes \(p = -3t^2 + 12t\). Let…
